I swear I’ve never actually seen Nurse coach by talking to his players, he spends the entirety of the game working the refs.

Can’t even describe how good it feels that we FINALLY hit on a cheap deadeye sniper after trying for so long and even letting a really good one go.

What is the proper amount from your couch? Numerous other NBA stars do far worse without repercussions. I think 'superstar' calls are true and crap, but JT is a top 5 player and gets nothing.

Then like WTF did Nurse do? They seem to be way overcalling this stuff
Truthfully I don’t know.

What I do know is that saying Tatum has noticeably stopped whining and complaining compared to previous years is absolute bullshit. He still whines and complains too much. Is it as bad as Draymond or LeBron? Fuck no. He’s way better than them but it’s still too much because he still keeps getting techs

I’m always fucking stunned when someone admits to liking Perk or sticking up for him.
He’s fucking terrible. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s just intelligent enough to know that being “extremely critical” (even when it’s not deserved) gets him clicks and discussion.
Are you really trying to claim that Perk doesn’t know the NBA?

If he didn’t clickbate, he’d be the third string analyst on the local Celtics broadcast.

The ESPN presentation of NBA basketball has been a disaster for a long time. Perk saw an opening, and grabbed it

Disagree. Not that he doesn’t still whine to the point of distraction, and not that it seems to have ramped up a bit as the season has gone on, but it still doesn’t feel close to how it sometimes used to get. Felt like he routinely missed entire defensive possessions gesticulating under the other baseline.

Strange game offensively for Boston so far. Almost every time they took the ball inside they got it ripped from them but every time they swung the ball they got a wide-open threes.

Yes…I am. He’s a moron. The fact that he’s taken advantage of a broken system and network doesn’t make me like him more or make me think he’s worthy of a spot.

He’s absolutely fucking terrible. This must be an agree to disagree thing because unless you pull up previously unearthed clips that show him intelligently talking about basketball, you won’t change my mind. I truly think he’s the worst of the worst. Only one I can think of thats close is Shaq but Shaq is more entertaining than Perk by a landslide

But the refs don't T up LBJ or Dray or numerous others. So that is JT fault he is getting Ts for LESS histrionics vs LBJ et al? ... or maybe the refs who wont versus LBJ or Dray. To be fair they are likely scared Dray chokeholds them! haha.

Overall, I agree, focus more on the game and what one can control. But there is a point where the Ts don't match the actions vs the rest of the NBA. Plus this one, he was like chirping while playing D. Ref is just embarrassed, boo hoo.

Dray and LBJ aren’t fair comparisons.

LeBron is maybe the best player ever. He gets away with stuff that others don’t.

Draymond, who the fuck knows, he gets away wit too much shit. Maybe the refs are afraid of getting kicked in the nuts.

Pull Pritchard and glue him to the bench for that awful 3 from the parking lot. You had 10 seconds on the shot clock, no. Bad.

Four turnovers by Tatum, and we're barely 12 minutes into the game.

Hauser is a lot better than Pritchard. Backup guard is the obvious position to upgrade (anr the rest of the team is so malleable that it can cut minutes for Horford too)

What exactly did Tatum do? Can we see it again instead of just talking about a potential T?
